The season is racing towards the playoffs, and there’s a great diversity of scoring in games. There were seven teams with over 30 points scored, and they produced many fantasy stars for the day, but the bad teams are getting worse and some offenses are starting to change as the reality of a futile season is inescapable.
Bill Belichick was just shutout for the second time this year, and both were in home games. The Chiefs already had less offense this year but at least improved their defense. At least until Sunday. We’re starting to see rainy games and that could accelerate.
We also just got a reminder for the oldest fantasy football adage of them all ‘ always start your studs. Puka Nacua against the Browns? Yeah – 70-yard score in the first quarter. The Panthers have the No. 4 defense against wideouts and the No. 1 versus quarterbacks. So Mike Evans just toasted them with 162 yards and a 75-yard score.
You cannot get them all correctly picked. But you can avoid the pain of seeing one of your best players go off while you benched them.
